Lavender Therapeutic Hothouse Comfort PillowsHard day? Curl up with one of these babies. They're little 14- by 7.5-inch pillows filled with buckwheat and lavender. You can even toss them in the microwave for a few seconds, and they warm up like heating pads. They come in four varieties, each one decorated with a different botanical silhouette.
$43.95 each, Wrapables
Flamenco Shower CurtainSometimes when I'm in the shower, it's like the rest of the world doesn't exist. I think this ruffled cotton shower curtain with its many calming shades of blues and greens would get me one step closer to tuning out the entire universe. At least until the hot water runs out.
$118.00, Anthropologie
No Slip Bath ArtIf you have a fear of slipping in the bathtub like I do (hey, I don't want to die naked with shampoo in my eyes, okay?), these things will give you some peace of mind. They keep the tub from getting slippery. And you can pretend you're taking a bath in a goldfish pond.
$12.00, Urban Outfitters
Baroque Balance ScaleOkay, this price is kind of steep for a bathroom scale, but this is the first scale I've seen that doesn't deserve to be hidden under the bathroom sink. In fact, since it's mostly there for decoration, do you really need to weigh yourself at all? Hey, that's my argument, and I'm sticking to it.
$118.00, Chiasso
Red Currant and Thyme Tea Olive Oil Fleur de Lis SoapI haven't yet tried any of the soaps from 4th Ave. Soap Company, run by Sarah Massagee of Iowa City, but I'm really taken with all the pretty shapes and interesting scents. This red bar, for instance, is made of extra virgin olive oil, with notes of lemon-lime, berry, bergamot, thyme, lavender, cassis, and white musk. You can find a lot of other cool scents and pretty soap shapes in Sarah's Etsy shop.
$5.00 each, Etsy
Pebbles Beachstone FloormatThis cool bath mat, made out of more than 100 polished river rocks, looks very zen in your bathroom. Plus, it has a cool, bumpy texture that kind of massages the bottom of your foot when you stand on it.
$58.00, Chiasso

UGG Australia Fluff Flip Flop SlipperI don't usually care for UGGs, but these fluffy sheepskin slippers are amazing. They even have a rubber sole so you can wear them on the linoleum without slipping around (or wear them outside like you know you will).

Amy Jo Gladstone Cashmere Cable SlippersTime to toss that pair of ratty slippers with Bugs Bunny's head on them. After a long day, your feet will thank you for these cute and comfy cashmere slippers. Plus, they are pretty enough to wear in front of someone besides your cat.

Sephora Body Wash Shower GelThese shower gels come in seven different fruity scents. I recently tried a bottle of the tangerine grapefruit, and it smells amazing. It's kind of weird, but when I use it in the morning, it makes me feel more awake. And thirsty for grapefruit juice.
$15.00, Sephora
Woodsy Woods Shower CurtainI think I'd feel a bit like Eve while showering in this clear vinyl shower curtain with a forest scene painted on. It's fitting too, because instead of being tempted to eat an apple, I'm usually just tempted to take too long in the shower.
$26.00, Urban Outfitters
PB Classic Glass Apothecary JarsIf you need a place to stash your Q-tips and cotton balls or just a fancy place to put decorative items and guest soaps, try these apothecary jars. I especially like the giant one, which is 27 inches tall.

Hot Sunglasses Beach TowelThis may be the coolest beach towel ever. It's a cotton pink number designed to look like a pair of shades that Nicole Richie could appreciate.
